May 13 - The month's 2nd blog: Weekly Blog May 13, 2013, on Racing at the Champlain Valley Fair is on. Added some photos to the Announcers' Stands page, too.
May 19 - I did Additions to the Dragon Brothers page, the Ron Barcomb page, and the Later Late Model Competitors page. The later and earlier late models are getting kind of muddled together - sorry.

May 23 - I stumbled across this interesting photo from Devil's Bowl, courtesy of Russ Farr. It shows The Champ, Rene Charland, with former CVRA drivers Jim Spaulding and Steady Eddie Allen. Neat shot. I don't have enough time, right now, to do a blog, but I am hoping to get one out soon.

Jim Spaulding, Charland, and Ed Allen had many common
dealings.
 Courtesy of Mike Richards Jim Spaulding sometimes drove this Ray Richards - owned car, the purchase of which was arranged in Massachusetts by Charland. |

 Courtesy of Mike Richards This Eddie Allen sedan was built in Massachusetts by Charland or Charland's associates and driven by George Rettew. |
May 24 - I have completed entering a large number of photos from Rich Palmer onto various Catamount - related pages. I think only the Grand American was not affected.
May 26 - I have added a new page called 'Portant Peeple". It features photos that show three or more significant racing people from the northeastern scene. I wish more of them were Maine and New Hampshire, but |my photos from there tend not to be group shots.
May 28 - I am currently unable to receive email. I will try to have one of the computer whizzes in the family rectify this. Anything sent to me recently is probably trapped out there somewhere in the ozone.
June 3 - I am still unable to get email. After years of no problem, the system wants my password and I lost since lost knowledge of what it is. I have spent the entire last week moving three different family members out of such places as Burlington, So. Burlington, and Boston - to three other locations. Not done yet. I will put a blog on soon, when we no longer are facing landlord deadlines. Soldiered along with no physical difficulty for four days until Saturday, when I aggravated my back trying to put a drawer in a file cabinet. Go figure. For my daily checkers - in and my regulars, I'm sorry.
